Barefoot in Paris: Easy French Food You Can Make at Home
By Ina Garten
Clarkson Potter - 2004
Blue Cheese Souffle : page 50
This was very good. I used closer to 6 oz of blue cheese since I needed to use it up, and that flavor was very pronounced. It was super easy to make and turned out perfectly.

Ile Flottante : page 180
I was so excited to try this recipe since this is one of my very favorite French desserts, but it just didn't work for me. First of all, I had a lot of trouble with the caramel sauce. My first batch was terribly grainy and crystallized, even though I was careful not to stir it. I think the medium heat called for was too high and it bubbled too much. I threw it out and tried again using low heat, and that worked better, but it still wasn't perfect.
After a lot of work, the dessert was finally ready, and it was tooth-achingly sweet. I almost felt sick after eating it. I love vanilla, but it overwhelmed, and the sugar was just too much.
I normally love Ina's recipes, but I would not make this one again.

Lemon Chicken with Croutons : page 110
This recipe is fabulous and couldn't be easier to prepare. The chicken is moist and flavorful and the croutons are to-die-for.
